TIME-INDICATING CHART FOR COOKING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 763,109, dated June 21,1904.

Application filed March 10, 1903. Serial No. 147,086. (No model.)

Tov all whom, Lt may concern,.-

Be it known that I, Jol-IN B. PARNALL, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Time-Indicating Charts for Cooking, of which. the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a time-indicating chart for cooking; and it comprises a card having thereon two or more clock-dial faces with pointers thereon, ea'ch clock being at the head of a vertical column, and below each clock is printed a list of the proper edibles and information as to the time required for cooking each. The dial isdesigned so that the pointers may be set at the "time or times when the different articles are put into the oven or exposed to the fire, and the cook may by means of the diiferent clockfaces thus readily determine when each article has been in the oven or on the lire the requisite period, or the pointers may be set at the time when such articles should be removed from the lire, as may be desired, all of which will now be set forth in detail.

In the drawing, the figure shows the front VView of a card 2, which may be made any desired size and shape, having at its upper end an eyelet for hanging 1t up. In this instance I show four vertical columns with a clockface 4; at the head of each column. Above each clock-face I indicate the character of edibles belonging to the respective columns. Thus the iirst column indicates that the pointers at live oclock show the time when the particular meat is putk into the oven, the second column shows the time by the pointer 6 when the vegetable is put on the fire, the third column shows thetime by the pointer 7 for fish, and the pointer 8 in the fourth column indicates the time when the pastry is put in to be baked.

It is obvious that the chart may have aline around the dials indicating that the particular article will be .cooked at such time as indicated by the respective dials, instead of requiring one to refer to the time when such article is put on the lire, as here shown.

The chart may be extended to include other articles or series of articles, and for each seriesI purpose having a separate dial-face designed to indicate the time when the articles are pnt into the oven, or, if it be deemed more desirable, to indicate when they shall be taken sor out, so that the cook will at all times have an indicator convenient for reference as to each particular article.

I do not confine myself to the particular material of which the chart is made, and it is obvious that it may be used for other purposes than-domestic uses, where it may be necessary to note time during the manipulation of a variety of articles.

What I claim as new is- A cooking-chart having a list of cookable articles arranged in a column, a time-column disposed substantially parallel with the firstmentioned column and having characters therein arranged opposite the members of the article-listto indicate the length of time required for cooking the same, and a clock-dial at one end of the column and embodying a pointer movable over the dial and capable of being set or adjusted thereon, whereby the time for removing from the stovethe article being cooked may be determined by reference to the name of said article in the article-column, the corresponding member in the timecolumn and the clock-dial. l

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN B. PARNALL.
